I don't think that actually conflicts with declaring the engine to be
different?

I notice you packaged dhewm3 (the engine) and dhewm3-doom3 (the
game-code) as separate binary packages. Is there any reason to separate
them? Would someone ever want to install dhewm3 but not dhewm3-doom3?

Similarly, is there a reason not to bundle d3xp game-code in with the
dhewm3 engine? Presumably it's really small when compared with the *.pk4
you need to run the thing. (That was my reasoning for including the
optional Quake III Team Arena game-code in ioquake3.)

Dropped them, thanks.
